[SET COMMENTS]
Set Description
=========
Tauros's high critical hit rate and Body Slam's paralysis chance make it very difficult to switch into, as even the bulky Mewtwo and Mew hate being paralyzed. Hyper Beam complements this, being able to finish off weakened foes, while a critical hit Hyper Beam OHKOes most of the tier outright. Earthquake and Blizzard complement Tauros's STAB moves by hitting the two most common Normal resists—Gengar and Rhydon—super effectively. Alternatively, Tauros can equip Thunderbolt to hit Cloyster, a Pokemon that normally checks tauros due to its high defense, super-effectively. Tauros can also use Leer to break through Mew and Mewtwo. Even if Tauros loses head-to-head, the defense drop can make it easier for a teammate to revenge kill. For example, Snorlax always KOs a Mewtwo at -1 Defense with Self-Destruct. Leer also has the benefit of reapplying the foe's paralysis, allowing Tauros to outspeed Mewtwo when both are paralyzed. Tauros can run Stomp in the lead slot to cover the Jynx matchup, as it reduces Lovely Kiss's accuracy to an effective 52.2%.

• slambeam obvious
• eq for gengar
• tbolt for cloyster
• blizz for rhydon/frz fishing
• leer for m2/mew + mention para reapp
• stomp for jynx in lead

• lead can either attack t1 or bail to teammate
• bail usually good on fast paralysis spreaders, stuff like chansey good switchin
• attack good against jynx/gar
  • Respect counter on jynx
• goal is to generate offensive momentum and spread para with body slam early

• back can shine in lategame
• good lastmon on boomspam teams
• has a flexible set, can run standard ou, run tbolt to hit cloyster, or leer to reapp/break thru psychics
